| In this work, I fabricated objects from images found in National Geographic magazine. This involved scrutinizing the images carefully and meticulously custom fabricating every detail of each object. The objects were displayed alongside their photographs on pedestals in a museum-like fashion. A worktable was also displayed in the room upon which was an object in the process of being fabricated. A stack of magazines, with many more selected images, was also placed on the table. A high shelf encircled the room and supported a frieze, the pattern of which was taken from the cover of the magazine. The shelf held a set of National Geographics dating back to the early part of the 20th century.
"We must recognize in this project a dissolution of subjecthood and its replacement with an act of scrutiny." Bruce Grenville
